An unorthodox approach to the nature of immunity is presented differentiating it from reactivity. Immunity is a gestalt force, all to the good of an individual, staking the concept of auto-immunity ridiculous and rejectable. Reactivity is a vector force that may protect or persecute; it is basically concerned with restoring the integrity of the human body. The concept of cytologue amplifies the idea of integrity, and allows reactivity to fight a microbe, heal a wound, reject a graft, and gives rise to "auto-immune' disorders, by a concerted Cellulohumorovascular Response.
